'Bloody July' events

"2014 is the sesquicentennial year of the Federal Army's occupation of Roswell.
Barrington Hall, in partnership with the Roswell Convention and Visitor's
bureau, will reenact the arrest of the Roswell Manufacturing Company's 400
mostly women mill workers (in July of 1864) who were then sent north
to prison camps. In addition there will be a Federal Encampment on the grounds of
Barrington Hall during the weekend. Soldiers will demonstrate camp life in
1864. Period clothing, both military and civilian, will be on display as will
Civil War era weapons. " For schedule of events visitroswellgov.comFurther sites of interest:http://www.gacivilwar.org/events
